Scripture and Lace

I haven't played at Our Daily Bread Designs for quite awhile, but couldn't miss the 8th anniversary SLC challenge. Gave me a chance to try the Faux Mother of Pearltechnique again--this time using Platinum Pearl Liquid Pearls & sponging with Distress Inks peeled paint & bundled sage. It looks like a rough surface, but it's actually flat & can easily be stamped on. I used Brilliance Pearlescent Chocolate with ODBD Vine Cross & used an applicator to color it in with the same ink. Then I added Distress Stickles Vintage Photo to make it stand out more without too much sparkle. The oval dies are by Spellbinders. I don't have an Easter scripture stamp, so printed it from my computer. The edges were inked a bit & the card front was stamped with a very old Magenta stamp using Memento Toffee Crunch. Fun to use lace & ribbon from my considerable stash, along with some Hero Arts gems. This card is heading to my sister & brother-in-law. I'm entering at City Crafter Challenge Blog, CropStop & Double D. Thanks so much for taking time to visit my blog.

Beautiful simplicity. Lovely design. I came across a panel of faux mother of pearl in my stamp room yesterday, so it's interesting to see yours today. I must get that out and use it. Thanks for joining us at Double D this week, Greta!
